Default calling dude named karl who bought 968 block from me before xmas...paramedic i think

hi ...i hope you are still alive...

back before xmas you bought and PAID FOR a new 968 block from me. If memory serves you were going to contact me to pick it up the following week.

well...its still in my garage, and I'd really like it to go to its new home...although my own mountain of dissassembled motor parts like the company, its a shame that this hasnt found its way into a car.

please contact me to arrange to pick it up. i have had no luck contacting you with the cell phone number or email that you provided.

Funny thing is I sold a motor to a guy nearly three years ago and he still hasn't picked up. Wait until he gets the bill for my storage fees.

Just long enough to slap in on a pallet and ship it to me....

Unless the guy was in the military and got deployed/shipped out, 4 to 6 months of trying to get in touch with him seems like a reasonable limit to me. If you've tried phone, mail, email, and posting here I'd say you've done your part.

He might have brain cancer... forgetful etc? Poor guy probably thinks he has a 3.0 turbo pulling 500HP. But has a stock Ford Pinto.
